The Waves Baseball team got their first bite of WCC conference play in Stockton this weekend, and it didn’t leave a pleasant aftertaste. Pepperdine lost two out of three games to the Pacific Tigers, splitting a doubleheader on March 25 — winning the first match, 7-6, losing the second, 11-5 — and struggled in the final game the next day, losing 4-1.
Freshman pitcher Wil Jensen had the best outing for Pepperdine this weekend, throwing for six innings and giving up four runs on 10 hits during Sunday’s game. Although four runs is still a decent amount, and the Waves lost, Coach Rick Hirtensteiner wrote in an email that he was impressed by Jensen’s performance, given his age.
